My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mindy (9months, 29lbs) is a happy, curious, and downright adorable young pup with silky black fur, caramel-brown accents, and a fluffy fan tail that perfectly matches her playful personality. She’s a total lovebug who adores snuggling, being told she’s a good girl, meeting new people, and getting brushed like the princess she clearly believes she is. Mindy is housebroken and does wonderfully in her crate—quiet, calm, and accident-free. She knows sit, down, and come (most of the time!) and is eager to learn more, especially when treats are involved. When she’s not cuddling, she’s happily entertaining herself with toys or attempting to convince you that laying directly on your head is the ultimate form of affection.

As a typical 9-month-old puppy, Mindy is still learning the ropes and will need continued training and exercise. She’s working on polite leash manners—she gets easily distracted by interesting smells, sounds, birds, and leaves that clearly must be chased. She may jump when excited and is learning “off” and “stay,” so a patient, consistent home will help her shine. Mindy would likely do well with another dog to help show her the way, but she’ll thrive just as much with humans who have the time and energy to keep her active, mentally engaged, and well-loved. She has not been around cats or children. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, snuggly pup who’s ready to grow into an amazing companion, Mindy might be your perfect match. ????

If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $350 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF). At the heart of our work is ensuring that each AARFie is matched with a family that is going to be their forever family. The application process is the first step in helping us understand you, your home, and factors that may help us determine if this pet is a great match for you — or, help you find a fit that will be. Please complete all the information in our species specific adoption applications; missing information may delay the adoption screening process.

Please note:

AARF only adopts pets to people in the Baltimore/DC metro region. In certain circumstances, we will consider homes in closer areas Pennsylvania, Delaware and Northern Virginia. This is due to the required home visit and long term ability to support the adoption. If you live outside of an hour radius of Baltimore, it is unlikely that your application will be approved.

Completion of the application form does not guarantee AARF will place one of our pets in your care. Many of our animals receive multiple applications, and we evaluate each applicant on fit for the specific animal (not first come first serve).

Completion of the application authorizes AARF to verify any information contained herein, including verification of medical records of any present or prior pets treated by the veterinarians listed.

AARF utilizes Truthfinder, a leading provider of public data about people and their connections to others, to verify certain information provided on foster and adoption applications. Truthfinder does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Completion of the adoption application is an indication that the information contained within this application is accurate and not misleading in any way.

All adoptions are at the sole discretion of AARF.

We also remind you that animals are not a short-term commitment, and as such, please give careful consideration to adopting an animal. Make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience and expenses this animal will need over the years.
